Days Inn Convention Center/International Drive, Orlando

First off, it's a fairly dirty place. On the floor near the bed was a toothpick and a wrapper. There's no closet - just a bar to hang your clothes. The rooms come with a safe - not a good sign. But all the other hotels nearby were booked and I had a convention to go to across the street so I stayed. Later that night I was lying in bed reading when I saw what was clearly a bedbug crawling beside me. I freaked and jumped off the bed and immediately got a tissue and tried to squish it. I couldn't! So instead I picked it up with the tissue and checked right out. And yes - I know what a bedbug looks like. I even googled them before posting this review to confirm what I saw - it was an adult bedbug, which fortunately hadn't recently eaten. I checked out immediately and had a cab take me to the Hampton Inn two miles away. More than twice the price but worth it! I immediately carefully went through all my belongings one at a time in the bathroom and fortunately didn't find any unwelcome visitors. Now that I'm home I took off all my clothes and bagged all my stuff in the hallway. I then microwaved my clothes, washed twice in hot water what couldn't be microwaved, washed out all my luggage, and have my suits and dress shirts in a sealed garbage bag to be dry cleaned. The next day I was in a cab and mentioned it to my driver and he told me that place was notorious for being dirty but the owners didn't care because they always have business from the convention center next door.

If you do not care about your luagges, welcome to Days Inn at 9990 Internation Drive, Orlando, FL. This is the perfect place for losing your belongings: no SECURITY whatsoever here: no digital camera and no security guard. Ironically, they have two cameras at the front desk and I heard that the front desk person does not dare to open the door for guest checkin if the guest arrives after midnight. What a safe place! Here is our story. We got off the airplane and checked in. We left all luagges in the hotel room without unpacking because we were so hungry. We went out to eat and came back. Wow, what a clean room. Six luagges were gone. My first response was that maybe the hotel was trying to move us to another room. I called the front desk. The manager said that I am coming. We were waiting for about 15 minutes, nobody showed up. I went to the front desk, the manager was talking to somebody in front the hotel. She said that she was "astonished" and this was the "first time". Then she called the police. The policeman came and we filed a report. We consulted the officer if we could negotiate with the hotel to recover our loss and he suggested that it's between us and the hotel manger and it was not his business. Then we were talking to the manager. She at first simply stated that in Florida there is a stupid law saying that the hotel is not responsible for losing personal belongings in the hotel room except the properties in the safe. We argued that there was not enough security measurements so the thief was not deterred. The hotel has its fault in this incidence. She said again that this was the first time and if similar situations happened, they would have installed security cameras or put security guard on duty. We argued strongly against that the hotel as a public facility should provide basic security measurements for guests and she eventually admitted that there was not enough security. As for compensation, she will talk to the owner to see if they can do anything. She wanted us to come back during her shift (12pm-10pm) on the 2nd day. On the second day when we saw her, she came back to her original stance --they have no fault! We checked out that hotel and moved to another hotel. And somehow I heard that at the same hotel on Nov 8, 2009, there was a hotel room break-in and the person knew that on the same day, another two rooms were broken in on the same day. So if you care your own security, please stay away from this hotel.

We got to our hotel after picking up our rental car. Check in was fast which we were happy about because we were exhausted from being up since 3 am and traveling all day and just wanted to get to our room and relax. Upon walking in the door the room smelled horrible. A very strong mold and mildew smell. The run was run down and just gross. We looked in the bathroom and the shower looked as though it had never been cleaned. The shower walls had dirt on them like someone had been playing in the mud all day and showered and it was never cleaned. You enter the room from outside and our door had a huge crack all the way around it. We could see outside and did not feel safe there. We went down to the IHop to eat and I called expedia and told them we would not stay there with our son. We felt like something was going to jump out of the walls and bite us and DID NOT feel safe at all. So an hour later we checked out with expedia's ok and a promise of a refund. We stopped in the office and I told them we were checking back out. He asked if something was wrong with the room and I said yes it is disgusting and smells horrible. He offered to change rooms and I said no we are leaving. They just said ok and that was it. So I think they have this happen alot. We drove around and found a nice Motel 6 and only paid $10 more for the three nights we would be there. Motel 6 was great and nice and clean. Never again will I not listen to reviews. I wanted to give them a chance since we read bad reviews when we went to Vegas and they were so wrong. But the reviews for this days inn were right on. It is disgusting. Do yourself a huge favor and pay a little more for a nice hotel. Save yourself the time of having to switch like we did. I all commend Expedia for working with us and giving us our money back. By the time we got home last night our money was already refunded even though they said it would take 7-10 days.

The location is good. That's pretty much the only good thing about this place. Cleanliness is obviously not a priority. I found an empty booze bottle in the dresser drawer and the bedspread and carpeting felt grungy. The night stand had something sticky on it that I washed off. (no tip for the maid) The room had an odor and the toilet kept running until I took the tank lid off and manually closed the flapper. No one came to fix it. Glad I had only a 2-night stay. The second night I was the only guest in my section of the hotel, which made me feel isolated and a bit nervous. If the room had been clean it would have been a decent value. I wouldn't have booked this hotel for vacation, but I was traveling for a non-profit organization and was trying to save a few bucks. Next time I'm in Orlando I'll pay a little more and stay elsewhere.

First of all the hotel manager has no customer service skills. The rooms are small and something is going on with the air because 2 people in my room had allergy issues during their stay. 2 others got bit by something in the room. The hotel is really "hood" for lack of a better term. Guests were taking their chairs outside on the balcony walk way to chill. The cleaning staff was rude. They always opened our room door without saying "housekeeping" and would only knock once before opening the door. It was hard to get fresh towels and the day I left was a good one. It's cheap yes, but if you can afford to spend a little extra money, please do. Wouldn't touch a Days Inn with a 10 foot pole after this experience.

My boyfriend and I stayed here. We were first given a handicaped room, and neither of us are in need. The hotel was not busy for it is off season. I went to use the toilet and when I flushed it water came pouring out all over the floor and would not stop! My boyfriend went to get help, THEY GAVE HIM A PLUNGER and made him fix it!!! We had dirty blankets, and when asked for a clean one, they gave us a sheet! I have never been so uncomforitable in all my 30 years of hotel experiences. Of course there is no manager "available at this time", that we are able to speak to. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

This review is for the Days Inn at 2601 McCoy Rd, Orland, FL. I could not find a review section at their site and I'm not surprised. We were shuttled to the Days Inn compliments of American Airlines. Our flight was delayed to go back home, so the airlines representative assured us she would send us to a "nice" hotel with a pool for our 4 children ages 10,9,9&7! We did mention that we had an unpleasant experience as a Days Inn in the past, but she said she'd been to this one! We should've "stuck to our guns" because this one far exceeded our poor expectations. The lobby was FILTHY! That is your 1st clue at a motel to STAY AWAY! They knew nothing about the dinner voucher from the airlines. They put us in a smoking room, when asked for non-smoking. The pool was closed because it was broken and green with algae! The room was dirty, beds were made, but we were afraid to sleep there; phone did not work. When we checked out to go back to the airport to be reassigned, the nice manager came out and offered to send us to one of their "partner" motels. He exchanged our $70 dinner vouchers for a $100 coupon for Charlie's Steak House. We had never been there before, so we had no idea that $100 would not cover 7 of us! The waiters were all dressed in tux's! The new motel we were sent to was the Park Inn. We wrote a review about that too. Dump! Don't ever stay here!

There was nothing impressive about the hotel. But there was also nothing wrong. It was as basic as the come. The rooms were clean, beds a bit hard, and no real ammenities. Not bad for the rate I paid, but I will go a little higher in price to get a nicer room next time. Perfect for a quick in and out overnight, I would not stay a few days.

The room was very clean and kept clean during our three-day stay. We could walk back and forth to the convention center. There were several places to eat within walking distance.

wow.. this was the worst hotel i've ever been to. it smelled and the wall was caving in.. dont stay here. service was terriable! it sucked it sucked and it mostly .. well... sucked!
